ALT There is still an urgent need to support talented creatives to be our next artistic directors. Tara Theatre is a leading voice in advocating and effecting change to address the lack of diversity and representation in the UK theatre sector. Change is possible. In the three years Abdul Shayek was Artistic Director of Tara Theatre his impact was huge; championing the voices and stories of those not heard enough on our stages and providing opportunities for countless writers, creatives, actors and young people. We continue to be inspired by Abdul and we will continue to make change. Now is the moment. Please join us.
ALT The Abdul Shayek Directors Fellowship The Abdul Shayek Directors Fellowship is an industry-led training and development programme which will equip mid-career directors with the experience and skills they need to take on leadership positions in our theatres.

The programme will run in two-year cycles with an initial intake of two directors. It will offer: - Associate Director salaried placements at producing theatres - Ongoing support, advice and development from Tara Theatre - A comprehensive programme of masterclasses
